UNBC Undergraduate Calendar

Student Success Initiative

University 101-3 (Introduction to Higher Education) is a three-credit,
multidisciplinary elective that is an appropriate foundation course for
most university degree programs. It offers an introduction to the
university and its many services, an explanation of the methods of
academic inquiry employed in the various disciplines, and an
opportunity to learn and practice the study skills and learning
strategies that are required for academic success. Students are given
opportunities to use the information from this course to improve their
academic performance in the other courses they are studying.

University 101-3 is most appropriate for students who are in their
first year of study at a university, including those who have
transferred from regional colleges. It is also appropriate for mature
students who have been away from academic study for a period of time.

For additional information, see the description of the course that is
located in the course description section of the Calendar under the
title, UNIV 101-3.
